Recommendations - 1 year old? Forum

[ready4180]

Hi all,

I was planning on taking the Dec. LSAT to apply for admission this cycle, but now I'm worried that I might have to push back to Feb. I want to ask my professors for recommendations soon in case I can still get the score I want in Dec. If I do have to push back to Feb, can I still use letters that are dated from Nov. 2012 or so? Or would I have to ask them to rewrite and resubmit next year? If I apply in Feb. I will be two years out of college and I'm afraid if I ask at a later time professors won't feel as strongly about me/won't remember important specifics about my academics, etc.

I'd definitely appreciate any and all thoughts! Thanks guys.

One year old letters are just fine. Don't worry about it, your work on the LSAT is far and away more important.

Edit: Poor grammar.

Having read tens of thousands, I promise you that you are more than fine with one year old rec. Best of luck!
